Here we are, back for part two of my interview with my Uncle Bill! He’s an enrolled member of The Klamath Tribes who grew up on a historic 160-acre homestead in Estacada, Oregon. He spent time in Germany serving his country in the US Army, has a degree in art education and is a 2x cancer survivor. Uncle Bill was also part of a tribal committee who worked to restore federal recognition to the Klamath tribe.

I did something a little different for this episode. We recorded our original interview in November, and then he came by Hungry Bear Studios about a month later to show me some of the various beadwork and other things he has created over the years. I was having as helluva time editing this into the existing footage, so you will notice a lack of captions, the audio is up and down, etc. I am going to be working with a new editing program for the next episode to see if it helps. I was hella frustrated by then end of the process, basically gave up and published it as is.
